Bowl burger isn't very large, and there's not a lot of seating. Luckily it's not as popular at lunch time as other lunch spots in the area. When we went, we had to sit outside; the weather was bad, but it wasn't horribly uncomfortable. I had the bowl burger (how could I not?). Some details:The patty: very juicy, like lots of Hong Kong burgers, quite "seasoned", not a lot of meaty flavor, not particularly large, a little off-putting in color (greyish). The bacon: thick, meaty bacon, not overcooke

The bacon: thick, meaty bacon, not overcooked or burnt. I thought the bacon was some of the best bacon-on-a-burger that I've had in a while.
The cheese: quite a "fake cheesy" taste, though I don't think as overwhelming as the cheese at Burgeroom.
The veggies: Lettuce, tomatoes, and mushrooms. They didn't skimp on the tomatoes or mushrooms, so plusses for that; I'd've liked jalapenos or some other hot peppers.
Condiments: I put on my own, as I hear the burger sauce has mayo in it.
Mostly the burger was fine. As I say, not as meaty tasting as I'd like, a little too fake-cheesy, but with impressive bacon. I prefer GBU or Shake'em Buns, but this isn't far off-- it's pretty standard as far as Hong Kong burgers go. If you're looking for something special, it's not here, but there's nothing wrong with the burgers, and I probably will eat here again. They have a lamb burger! B+.
The fries were pretty normal. Solid. B+.
